I love them because the flip top lids are attached and so can't be lost. They come in a pack of ten colours with the name of the colour written in that colour on the sides in both Spanish and English. You can get mini ones too, which might be nicer for one set of teeny hands. We have the regular size ones. <A HREF="http://www.ecr4kids.com/ProductDetail.aspx?SearchKeyword=&SubCategory=025&Category=005&ProductCode=ELR-0187" REL="nofollow">Here's a linky.</A> <BR/><BR/>Amber, I'm not at all versed in the ways of Montessori. I feel like I should do some reading if it's about child led learning. I'll start off by reading more of your site.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the lovely comments all of you!

Great ideas, great art & a great lot of fun looks to have been had :)<BR/><BR/>Now, we have a *lot* of art supplies available at all times for the kids - just not the messy goopy paint sort! But as i've just been rereading 'How to Raise an Amazing Child (the Montessori Way)' by Tim Seldin I've been inspired to set up an art area where the children really can paint and do goopy stuff as well. We *have* had 2 easels in the past but they have both passed-on ie. got so wet & dirty & loved that they collapsed & had to go to the big easel shop in the sky ;)<BR/><BR/>So I love the idea of some chipboard that can go on the fence outside & store flat somewhere when the weather isn't good! What a smart cookie you are :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906019871298704814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-70413653352280434382009-02-07T16:05:00.000-08:002009-02-07T16:05:00.000-08:00Dear wizards,I've been reading your blog for a cou...Dear wizards,<BR/><BR/>I've been reading your blog for a couple of weeks. It's inspiring. I'm a friend of Miss Smiths and it was via her blog that I found yours.<BR/><BR/>I have a 21 month old at home and I'm really keen to venture into some craft activities with him. I think your blog could become a regular source of ideas and inspiration. It's time for us to break out of the rut of books and trains....<BR/><BR/>Question: Can you send/post a photo of the no-spill paint containers. I'd like to find some.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your great blog.<BR/>Diane (from Australia)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-4961067050648188122009-02-06T16:39:00.000-08:002009-02-06T16:39:00.000-08:00Phew! i have just spent over an hour reading throu...Phew! i have just spent over an hour reading through all your blog entries (i just subscribed to the RSS feed - i think there may be older posts i haven't seen yet) and i'm loving it. the paintings in the last blog are aceness. you remember kevin who used to live in flat 28 with me back in the stargang? well he was a man who knew his art and he always used to say that kids know how to paint and we un-learn them in school. he'd probably pay money for what your two have come up with :o)<BR/><BR/>the inauguration rocket was something else. you are the coolest parents in the whole world ever, fact.<BR/><BR/>Hope all's well in boardland.<BR/><BR/>PaulP4-810https://www.blogger.com/profile/15008999948813760404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543941664703892689.post-27101513147512022362009-02-06T02:53:00.000-08:002009-02-06T02:53:00.000-08:00Yay!
